The First Military Division of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 268 Powerful Arsenal

Chapter 280 Powerful Arsenal

As for Liu Zhang in Yizhou, he thinks that Yizhou is the most dangerous place in the world, and no one can attack it. Although he listened to Huang Quan and others, the conscription of [-] troops means following the tide, mainly because Liu Zhang is unwilling to take out too many troops. More money to support soldiers, because in his view, the troops in his hands are now fully capable of defending Yizhou.

Moreover, there is a watchdog at the gate of his house. Although he does not listen to him, he will definitely guard the gate. The princes of the world are powerless to attack his Yizhou.Liu Zhang felt like embracing a beauty show and watching the world.

Although Ma Teng and Han Sui in Liangzhou had already occupied the entire Liangzhou, both of them wanted to defend each other a little bit. Neither of them dared to recruit troops at will, for fear of getting annoyed and causing disputes.

They also don't have the ability to go south to fight for the world. After all, the Central Plains area has been almost divided by Liu Bei, Cao Cao, and Sun Ce. It is not necessary to think about attacking Yizhou. As for Sili Prefecture, they are capable of defeating it, but then, Liu Bei and Could Cao Cao let them occupy the heart of the big man? Obviously Ma Teng and Han Sui didn't want to poke a hornet's nest.Even an idiot can see that the next target of Cao Cao and Liu Bei's competition is Sili Prefecture, where a monstrous war is about to usher.

As for Lu Bu, Zhang Ji, and Fan Chou in Sili Prefecture, there is no place to recruit soldiers. The people in Sili Prefecture have almost been harmed by Dong Zhuo's family. Those who survived can live until now. It can be described as a miracle. It can be said that since Dong Zhuo, Sili Prefecture has been the place where the great man suffered the most disasters. Not only the emperor was unlucky, but the people of Sili Prefecture were also unlucky.

Now Lu Bu is also starting to worry. Although he is arrogant, he is not an idiot. Cao Cao and Liu Bei have already reached his door. Liu Bei is better, he is still a little away from his territory, at least there is Zhang Ji in the middle.

But Cao Cao's Nanyang and his territory are connected together. If Cao Cao is willing, Nanyang's 20 troops can march into his territory at any time.

With the strength of Lu Bu's current army, it is impossible to be Cao Cao's opponent. He even thought about taking the emperor Liu Xie back to Chang'an, and joining Zhang Ji and Fan Chou to resist Liu Bei and Cao Cao, but Zhang Ji, Fan Chou and him are not the same. One mind, although they are both former generals of Dong Zhuo, but Lu Bu is from the Bingzhou faction, Zhang Ji and Fan Chou are from the Xiliang faction, they used to be hostile when they worked together, and if Lu Bu took the initiative to find them, Lu Bu couldn't help himself. , and there is no good strategist around him to plan, Lu Bu, who only has two or three big cats and kittens, began to worry about his future.

"My lord, military adviser, the Liaodong Arsenal is now the largest weapon factory in the Han Dynasty. It can produce all the weapons and armors of the Han Dynasty, and they are all the most advanced." In April of the ninth year of Chuping, Liu Bei, Chen Ziming and others took a boat from Linqu Go to Liaodong, Youzhou, and visit Dahan's largest arsenal with the most advanced production technology.

This arsenal can be regarded as the number one trump card in Liu Bei's hands. A huge part of the soldiers and horses in Liu Bei's hands and the weapons used are produced from here. This is also the reason why Liu Bei's soldiers and horses can crush the soldiers and horses of other princes.

"Yes, this knife is very sharp." Liu Bei picked up a Mo knife that had been finished and was about to be shipped out, waved it a few times, then looked at the sharp edge of the knife, and said with satisfaction.

"My lord, this Mo Dao is just an ordinary weapon produced by our arsenal. There are also sharper treasured knives and various top-level weapons. Of course, the share of ordinary weapons in our arsenal is not very large. We The most powerful weapons in the arsenal are in the east area, and you can take a look with your subordinates." The director of the arsenal took Liu Bei and others to visit the arsenal and introduced various weapons.

Especially the East District, which covers a very large area and is the most heavily guarded area. The treatment of workers here is much better than that of workers in other areas, but they are not as free as those in other areas, because the production of the East District is the most advanced. arms.

Not long guns, big knives, etc., but large-scale war weapons, ladders, catapults, bed crossbows, nest carts, wooden mantles, crash carts, Lin Chong, trench bridges, etc., all of which are very advanced siege weapons.

Now Liu Bei's army has begun to equip a large number of these weapons, and has also begun to cultivate professional and technical units for these weapons. That is to say, when Liu Bei's troops attack the city in the future, it will not be like the previous siege. A group of people carried ladders , braved the feathered arrows to slowly climb the city wall, which is equivalent to using human lives to fill it, which is a very backward way of attacking the city.

Now with these weapons, hundreds of catapults are placed outside the city, and the terrifying bed crossbow is pushed down the city, bombarding him for a few hours like a cannon, and then the ladder, the nest cart, the wooden mantle, the crash, the rush, Once on the trench bridge, it was easy and safe to send the siege soldiers and horses to the tower.

Who can stop such a terrifying siege, unless there are a large number of catapults and bed crossbows in the city, and the defenders are very elite, and there are enough troops, otherwise it is impossible to defend.

The more Liu Bei and the others watched, the more excited they were. They also led troops to conquer cities and territories all year round. Of course, they knew the value of weapons. With these weapons, even a city with strong defenses could be captured.

The defenders of the city will defend the city again. In the face of absolute strength, everything is empty talk.If Cao Cao had such a weapon, even if Zhang Liao would defend the city again, so what, he would definitely not be able to defend against Cao Cao's army attacking the city.

Good strategy and good tactics are indeed important elements to determine the victory of a great war, but if there is such a sharp weapon, the strategist can choose a lot more strategies, and the results obtained can be multiplied many times, and his own losses can be reduced to a minimum.

"My lord, military adviser, these siege weapons are all the most advanced, and the effect is very good. All of them have been summed up after countless actual combats. We have also cooperated with the military many times. The military sent people to conduct drills, and finally designed Completed, and after our improvement, these siege weapons are already very strong, and will not break or fall apart after a while. The most important thing is that all these sharp weapons can be disassembled for easy assembly. As long as the soldiers have passed our training, These weapons can be easily disassembled and assembled."

The director of the arsenal introduced these weapons endlessly. In addition to pleasing Liu Bei and Chen Ziming and wanting to get more funds, he also wanted to invest more funds in Liu Bei and Chen Ziming for them to research more weapons.

You must know that researching weapons is very expensive. Whether it is materials or labor costs, it is a terrible expense. More importantly, after the research of weapons, the military needs to send people to test them, and finally order these weapons. The driving force for continuous development.
